lentils

When I first started being vegan I thought my diet was about taking foods away… I couldn’t have been more wrong. I think that’s why a lot of people who are interested in veganism don’t make the switch… Because they believe they will starve “I’d die if I didn’t eat meat…” really? You’d die..? *buzzzz* wrong! Well no… You won’t die! In fact you’ll bloody thrive! Best part about a vegan, whole foods lifestyle is that your body will love you!

I thought I’d tackle the age old question ‘but where do you get your protein?’ oh how about 40g from my lentils yo!

This recipe is so bloody easy and ridiculously tasty… You can change so many things to make it personalised to you! I tried changing the curry paste for taco spice and I got Mexican burgers! You want to impress your friends or family with an amazing meal that took less time to make than the half time break in the footy! This is for you! Best part is you can feed an army!
